Would not "some Japanese manufacturers will try to market" be more
appropriate in this context?

Unless things have changed since my last stint in Japan (1988),
microprocessor controlled wc's (heads, johns, crappers, etc.) are
fairly common. I trust these will integrate with TRON. Just imagine.
TRON will monitor the oven, the rice cooker (more important than the
former), the fridge, etc., integrate this with n-months stored data on
the processing speed of my bowels and intestines, and have the wc all
primed and ready for the next big event (daiben) when it comes....

(For a good introduction to modern Japan, read BRAVE NEW WORLD by Aldus
Huxley!)
